I thought it was stopped too early (sorry I know its not such a popular view)

Really becasue :

1. Vitali himself did not want to stop by any means

2. Its a while ago now but am I right it was stopped by the ref without the Doctor taking a look? I was thinking it should have had the ring Dotors views - professionals if you see what I mean

3. It was after all the biggest possible fight in boxing - the WBC Heavyweight Title - I thought Vitali should have been given every chance to continue, for example they could have said "You are cut - you have 1 more round or we stopping it". This fight is one which boxers must dream about since they are 6 years old, it should not be stopped unless absolutely essential imo due to the enormous amount at stake - and I think it was stopped with a lot of doubt regarding that point.

To be honest at the time the only thought in my head was "Lennox is in trouble and the judges want it stopped", and nothing to do with Vitali at all

Just my view dont kill me please !!!
